Unique historic Italian property for sale with medieval buildings, garden and pool close to Spoleto
The fortified nucleus of this Italian property for sale guarded the two main roads in the valley, which, from roman times connected Rome to the west of Italy to the Adriatic coast via Umbria, the roman Flaminia Road and the pre-roman Piancianina Road. Each of the buildings was devoted to a specific purpose, a part hosting the military garrison, family apartments, horse stables, house for the peasants, and the ovens for bread and pottery, as well as a small olive- and wheat mill. The buildings have carefully been restored over a period of more than 10 years, preserving their original character. Experienced local craftsmen created a truly special historic property, using original antique materials and respecting the original characteristics, but also applying all the modern technical solutions to ensure the best possible level of comfort.
